What You’ll Need to Make Slow Cooker Meatloaf:
Ingredients:
- ground beef
- tomato soup
- cream of mushroom soup
- dry onion soup mix
- an egg
How to Make Slow Cooker Meatloaf:
Place meat, eggs, and onion soup mix in a large bowl.
*If you want to be sneaky, you can mix in a quarter cup of ground flax seed with the meat to sneak in Omega 3 and fiber!
Mix those ingredients together until they are combined. Try using your hands to mix – they work perfectly here!
After those ingredients are well-combined, shape the meat mixture into a loaf. Place your loaf in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Pour a can of cream of mushroom soup over the loaf. I spread mine around a bit with the can so that it is coating the top of the meatloaf.
Pour a can of tomato soup on top of everything!
Cover and cook the meatloaf on the low setting for 8 hours, or on the high setting for 4 hours.
And there you have it! An easy, no-nonsense, made-with-ingredients-you-have-in-your-pantry Slow Cooker Meatloaf! Bon appetit!
Serve with a side of green beans (could even just be canned green beans) and/or mashed potatoes and you are good to go! How’s that for a quick and easy weeknight meal?!

Love love crockpot meatloaf. I usually cut up some red potatoes and spritz em w/ olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning and wrap them in foil and cook in my crock pot right along with my meatloaf. I’ve never tried the soup combo but it sounds delish!
My kids love flat Stanley.. so I know they would love flat Christy just as much! I am quite sure my 2nd grader daughter would have you in a crown tout de suite. (Hurrah for high school French!) My 1st grader son would probably build flat Christy a lovely home out of legos. My hubby is chief onion chopper and follows directions really well. And me…I’m the mom.
There’s lots to do and see here in the piedmont area of NC. Did you know we are the birthplace for Krispy Kreme? I know… deep fried mecca. Wait… I think the red light is on…
Hi Christy!
My family and I would love for you to visit.We live in Julian, NC. We are so ready for spring and this would be a nice treat.
I do just about the same recipe for my meatloaf because I don’t like all the green peppers and tomatoes, etc…..the only differences are that I season my meat with garlic, pepper, etc (you know, the usual southern additives) and I use the “Golden Mushroom” soup which is basically the same thing as mixing the two soups together. It is wonderful and makes a fabulous gravy!
I can’t wait to try this recipe! I love that it has a swiss steak taste b/c that’s my husband’s favorite and for the life of me I can’t ever get it just right, my meat always ends up tough but with ground beef there’s no worry of that!
We’d love to have Flat Christy come visit us in Hawaii. We’d dress her up in a wet suit (read: laminate her) and take her surfing! My daughter Zoe (18 months) and I would take her to the North Shore to watch the big waves and have some fish tacos and shave ice. We’d stop by the roadside stands and pick up fresh fruit and banana lumpia (because it’s my weakness). And before she left we’d stop by the Dole Plantation and get some fresh pineapple for Flat Christy to take home. Because honestly, nothing comes close to fresh pineapple, it’s like sunshine in a fruit and you can hollow it out and drink out of it. =) And if she comes before the end of March she’d get to go to our Welcome Home Luau for my husband…and you know there’s going to be tons of good food there!
Hi Three Dimensional Christy! =0)
We would just love to have Flat Christy over for a visit. My hubby and I were born and raised in SC, but we now live in Maryland…just shy of the Mason-Dixon. We have two boys, ages 4 and 9. And, we are waiting for the phone call to adopt a daughter from China. There are all kinds of things we could do together. If she came in the next few weeks, she could go with us to see our oldest son compete in the State level of the National Geographic Bee. If she would rather visit when it is warmer up here (and I don’t blame her one bit!), she could come around the end of June when our whole family will be traveling to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi doing continued Katrina relief work. We’ll be driving a long way, and there’s lots to see. It’s my job to run the kitchen in Mississippi and feed 30+ workers for a week, and with her expertise in the kitchen, I would love to have her help! We would love to have her visit any old time at all…our door is always open! We’ll even be like Motel 6 and leave the light on for her 😉
Hey, whose belly dance video is that? It looks tribal. Rachel Brice or FatChanceBellyDance? I belly danced in my community for years until I got a little burned out and decided to go for a master’s degree. I’m getting burned out on that much more rapidly!! I still have my lovely costumes so I might go back to it one day. 🙂
That is Rachel Brice! Good eye! 🙂 I love belly dancing. It’s a fun way to get in some exercise.
